Funny enough the RS4 we had to test at Oulton also had a TPMS warning light come up on it when on the track session and the response was 'it happens'. We were given another RS4 to play with as were the couple who managed to ignite their ceramics!

Tyre pressure warning system

Post by Orbtar » Sun Jan 06, 2013 4:23 pm

Mine has a knocking noise at the front. I thought it was the steering rack but now think it may be the anti roll bar bushes, Range Rover Sport V8 diesels used to have the same problem. Will get mine checked out this week.

Couple problems on my S4 too. Cruise control button is broken/stuck and the passenger footwell trim is coming away!!

And it's so difficult getting an appointment to get it checked out.

Yeah one of my neighbours who has a RS5 had a knock from the steering and they tried the same thing, yeah they all do that.......... Bollocks if you have knock then something ain't right and needs rectified irrespective if the car costs 12k or 70 k
